Anyone surprised?

Anyone Surprised?

J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. You areentertaining and imaginative, creating wholenew worlds around yourself. Well loved, youhave a whole league of imitators, none of whichis quite as profound as you are. Stories andsongs give a spark of joy in the middle of youreternal battle with the forces of evil.

I was. I don't think I've really got many imitators, although I have what the spouse calls my acolytes. The first set are getting ready to start their transfer year at Big State U this quarter -- I'm incredibly worried that I haven't prepared them well enough. What if I've let them down??? The rest is kinda true, I think -- especially the song thing. Oh, and the fighting evil. My heroes have always been fighters of evil -- although not necessarily evildoers.
